Embedded Training 26 October 2021 ATP 3-09.12 C-3 COUNTERFIRE OPERATIONS AND TARGET PROCESSING SECTIONS C-10. The COS and TPS processes targets received from the WLR according to the commander's criteria established in their tactical fire direction system. The commander's criteria should conform to the exercise guidance issued by the FSE. Normally, fire missions are generated for priority targets. Artillery target intelligence reports are sent to the CPs or the targeting element where they will be entered in the tactical fire direction system. FIRING ELEMENT C-11. Upon receipt of fire missions, the firing unit generates firing commands (live or dry fire). Note. Use of embedded training during live-fire exercises can generate fire missions in an impact area if the proper search and zone data is entered into the WLR computer. The AFATDS must be set up to accept simulated targets or any acquisition sent from embedded training. Other targets will provide useful training for the FSE.
